I know we don't have much sample size but I simply don't believe we have 8 wingers better than whatever the current version of Vrana is.
This doesn’t even make sense. The deadline is in like 8 days so he was never going to accrue 30 days before then
It shouldn’t make any difference as he wasn’t going to hit 30 days before the deadline when rosters expandDoes waiver eligibility stick with the player even after a trade? If so, keeping him as far away from the 30 day threshold maximizes the potential flexibility for an acquiring team.
Players still need to clear waivers post trade deadline, don't they (honestly asking)? Even if the Wings don't trade him, every day counts. It's just a paper move anyways.It shouldn’t make any difference as he wasn’t going to hit 30 days before the deadline when rosters expand
So I guess no Raymond. But Vrana listed.
The eyesore to me is that Larkin has 56 points, and nobody else has cracked 40.One thing that really sticks out here is Chiarot's -20
You appear to be trying to REDUCE the levels of drama...on an internet message board?As weird and confusing as this whole Vrana situation is and has been, there is still the possibility that everything has a very straightforward explanation and we're just reading too much into everything.
It could be as simple as Vrana had an issue, and we are bringing him back up to speed slowly while managing the roster as necessary. No need for fallouts between him and management, trying to get rid of him, or showcasing him for trades to explain everything that has happened to this point

This is why I keep bringing up Meier dammit.The eyesore to me is that Larkin has 56 points, and nobody else has cracked 40.
Even if Raymond and Seider become perennial All Stars, this team desperately needs a legit scorer.
It's a guaranteed contract. He gets paid whether he's on the roster or not. Even Frans Nielsen and Justin Abdelkader still get paid.Does this affect his daily salary? During the COVID seasons Wings management were performing cap gymnastics to keep salary lower.

Penguins have a 60 pt scorer and two 50 point scorers but only have 5 more goals than us on the season in the same amount of games.The eyesore to me is that Larkin has 56 points, and nobody else has cracked 40.

It's hard to see because we don't have any star forwards after Larkin and so it makes it feel like the whole forward roster is just kinda meh..... but Detroit actually has good depth. Meaning our bottom-6 typically matches up very favorably to other teams bottom-6. So yeah, a committee. Relative to other teams, we're kind of a bottom-heavy team, at least with the forwards.Penguins have a 60 pt scorer and two 50 point scorers but only have 5 more goals than us on the season in the same amount of games.
We are just getting it done by committee.

Accurate. But I would counter with:Penguins have a 60 pt scorer and two 50 point scorers but only have 5 more goals than us on the season in the same amount of games.
